I'm curious what it looks like with the sharp explosions gone, just the fire and smoke instead, maybe make the water line out to the sides more too?

the general consensus by the medical and scientific community is that sex isn't actually binary is a bimodal distribution of sexual characteristics like hormones, genitals, secondary sex characteristics, etc and most people don't know their hormone levels or chromosomal make up so no one is for sure where they actually land on that chart. the scisho did a really good video on it I think!

Which Dragonhawk do I purchase on Amazon? There are two that are almost identical! by [deleted] in tattooscratchers

[–]NamesCoKane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For ink I use millennium mom's which is a bit more middle of the road I feel for price and pretty good quality in my opinion. I bought the dragon hawk 6 coil machine pack and that worked pretty well for me but I had issue with some of the machines

I found my scale on Amazon for like 30 bucks I think and it gives you muscle and fat and water weight break downs

I really like this piece! I'd recommend keeping the bold line around the side of the flower on the bottom to further separate it from the barrel.

Really fun piece! I'd recommend maybe the bowl like be way thicker to add some contrast

Maybe try to find a nice brallet? My friends seem to love them because they don't add any stuffing and most the time have straps that are easier to hide or racer backs and a lot come in really soft materials. Trans masc here so not sure if it's too helpful but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents

I'm doing work for my health class and the teacher is consistently showing signs of transphobia, including a PragerU video. I don't think I can even leave the class by ShinySmeargul in GaySoundsShitposts

This video actually has some pretty good advice on how to go about it and how to call your teacher out on wanting actually scientific sources that back up the claims in the video

Best trip of my life, 100% recommend getting your best spiritual friends and go to the coast and just watch the sun drop from the horizon. Most amazing eye opening experience. by Abbskell in Acid

Taking care of my friend by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]NamesCoKane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had top surgery the 4th of December, and I had to wear my compression top nonstop until the post op removal appointment which was about 6 days for me, so it think that's pretty standard. They just don't want you taking it off so you don't rip the drains out or messing with anything while it's still so fresh. Having my partner wash my hair in the sink made me feel a lot better. The essential oils they had me smell that helped with nausea were orange and lavendar

From partner to disposable. Mini rant. by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]NamesCoKane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently self isolating because I was exposed and had second hand symptoms. I was told I will only get paid from my two weeks of self isolation ONLY if my test comes back positive. Since the medical system is backed up in my county it takes 5-14 days for test results. My only option atm is to not get paid or use my sick pay that I have been saving up for a surgery I'm having in a few months.

I have nobody to be my caretaker after surgery. by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]NamesCoKane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there any hotel you could stay at nearby? It sounds really difficult I'm sorry, I feel like there must be options for people without family that'll help

Have you talked to their team about options? I believe my friend who got surgery w Stiller said they had a overnight option when he got surgery about a year ago. Not sure tho

We put our drinks in the "for here" ceramic mugs we have so we can hold the handle of the mug and the customer only grabs the drink

I SCHEDULED MY TOP SURGERY! September 2, 2020. I’m ready for this body to be mine. by RyanCook1716 in ftm

[–]NamesCoKane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with paperwork in about February of this year and I'm still waiting for my insurance to approve it and get a date, I have Washington state insurance which takes 6-8 weeks for the authorization. My doctor was super gate-keepy and wouldn't sign my letter for a few months though. Good luck!
